BBQ Chicken Pizza: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for 5-Star Flavor
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Prepare Pizza Crust: If using a pre-made crust, place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil to prevent sogginess.
- Mix Chicken and Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ½ cup of BBQ sauce. Stir until the chicken is well-coated.
- Spread Sauce: Spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Add Chicken: Distribute the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the sauce.
- Layer Onions: Scatter the thinly sliced red onions over the chicken for added flavor.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the entire pizza. If desired, add cheddar cheese for an extra cheesy experience.
- Season: Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- Cool and Garnish: Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve hot.
